Politically Correct

I wonder at the capacity of language to be a world in itself. How often do we try to find solace in linguistic constructs? The answer is always. What difference does it make when we call a half filled glass, half empty? It just shows what kind of view we are having of the world. But is it not possible to have an objective view of the world? Mahatma Gandhi was right when he said that even a scientist's view of the world is not objective. A scientist's view of the world is also subjective. This is the reason of the new scientific theories coming everyday. Various scientific theories have been propounded about the creation of the world. If it had been objective, it would have been unchanged.



Coming back to the language, we often have to be careful about the use of the language(as if it makes any difference!). We can not oppose a political view directly because by doing so, we would be politically wrong. But should not we try to be more objective, more direct in expressing what we feel? But, now a days being direct would not be very desirable I guess. Because many of the not so renowned or, being more direct, I should say some of the most hated people in politics are really direct in abusing and exposing each-other. And the experience shows that it was not very pleasant It came to be known as dirty politics. Being politically correct, I would not go into details and I would not give any facts. But it is sad that dirty seems to be direct now a days.

Finally, I can say that though we need to be true and direct more than being politically correct.. we will have to wait till the politics clears off of the dirt..
